In a matter of weeks, Michael Vick will officially hit the free-agent market, which very well could mark the end of his time with the Eagles -- and beginning of his time with the team right up the turnpike.

According to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com, talk around the league is that the New York Jets are being viewed as a "legitimate possibility" for the veteran quarterback.

Rapoport goes on to mention Vick's relationship with Jets offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg as a reason the Eagles' quarterback could head to New York. Mornhinweg was Vick's offensive coordinator for four seasons of Vick's five seasons in Philadelphia.

This is not the first time Vick has been linked to the Jets, and it certainly won't be the last. If they aren't willing to let Geno Smith develop, Vick would be an upgrade for next season. Needless to say, however, Smith has a better chance of being the long-term answer -- which could derail Vick heading to New York.

As for the Eagles, it appears close to a done deal that Vick will leave. Eagles general manager Howie Roseman said as much this past week, when he mentioned that there was not a chance to start in Philadelphia for Vick.
